HC Deb 16 November 1908 vol 196 c864
MR. ASHLEY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is his intention to quarter a cavalry regiment in the 6th Division of the Irish command, in view of the fact that the command consists of two infantry brigades and divisional troops comprising three brigades of field artillery.

MR. HALDANE

A cavalry regiment does not form part of a division in war, and there is no intention of allotting one to this or to any other division in peace.

MR. ASHLEY

was understood to ask if it was not usual to have a cavalry regiment with a division.

MR. HALDANE

A cavalry regiment does not form part of a division.
